RECOMMENDED CAWANOL FIXER
Cawanol completes the development of the negatives, however, after this process you will need to “Fix” the film, so it is no longer sensitive to light. Ilford Rapid Fixer is our recommended fixer for Cawanol film processing. Non-hardening, liquid concentrate rapid fixer for black & white films and traditional RC and FB photographic papers. We recommend you add between 10-30% of Ilford’s standard suggested time.
